The 2024 UK General Election - news, speculation and updates

[bemused]

Andy Burnham giving the awful John Redwood a kicking on Sky.

 

[ska invita]

Cool, got the fuckers out, but why am I not filled with joy?

 

[Riklet]

Ha ha who is the first major Tory we are going to see properly in tears blubbing away....?

I cant wait to see if JRM loses his seat tbh. that would be an excellent local scalp.

Not surprised to see Reform getting over 10 seats tbh but who knows could be bollocks.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Right off to bed, up in the early hours.

Ditto me, I'll back in the house around 2am

 

[Dogsauce]

How does the exit poll account for postal votes? There will be a lot in Scotland due to holidays.

Reckon Reform will actually do more than 13 too.

 

[Mation]

What's all this transformation of the Labour Party bollocks? Surely all Keith has done is to not be Jeremy Corbyn and to stand when the PM is brown.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

said that Corbyn was his friend denied it later, all those promises he made before becoming labour leader when he clearly didn't believe any of them, accusations of Corbyn being responsible for lack of action against antisemitic labour members ...

A lot of things have changed since he became leader so was it a lie or just a leader facing the reality of the situation in the country?

A gloating Mandelson on BBC1.

Or as my phone just autocorrected him to... Dandelion.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

That SNP exit poll…! Can’t see how the nationalists can demand independence now…

It wasn't a lie.

It was many many lies, conscious and deliberate.

Why is that lying murderous cunt Campbell still on the Telly? I'm off to bed.

 

[bcuster]

They’re saying labor 410 here

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Nadine Dorries is just fucking awful. And dim.

 

[belboid]

They’re saying labor 410 here

thats cos they're saying that here.

Have we had a vote prediction anywhere? Thats what I wanna see

 

[weltweit]

I don't know if I have told you this, my father was a toolmaker and my mother was a nurse!

 

[planetgeli]

They’re saying labor 410 here

Here they're saying Labour 410

 

[belboid]

Nadine Dorries is just fucking awful. And dim.

Blimey, something we agree on

 

[bcuster]

thats cos they're saying that here.

That was supposedly the actual result

 

[strung out]

Sorry, I just can’t stop with these

 

[bcuster]

Labour, yes

 

[Sue]

That was supposedly the actual result

They've just started counting. We won't have actual numbers until tomorrow. The 410 is based on exit polling.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

That was supposedly the actual result

No. It's an exit poll. they're generally pretty accurate, but the counting has only just begun. First actual result will be in an hour or two from Sunderland (traditionally). rest to follow through the night.

 

[pbsmooth]

Sky feed reminding us Starmer would still have a worse share than Corbyn 2017 on this exit poll.

why are you ignoring 2019 when Corbyn had the worst result since 1935?

 

[Hotel Chocolate]

I am still waiting for the actual percentages figures won rather than the seats won.

Ah, they are claiming 17% for Reform more the LibDems got, they are claiming Labour are down on 36% which doesn't sound right.

 

[strung out]

You can search the exit poll results seat by seat here: Exit poll: What is the forecast election result in my constituency?

A lot are too close to call, so the projections could easily change by quite a lot on a very small number of votes.

I mean, 'Starmergeddon' is right there FFS.

 

[pinkmonkey]

13 fascists is not good. Hopefully they will expose themselves to be arseholes.

Some are suggesting Yvette Cooper will be one of those seats

Yep, my mp. Thing is, you never hear anything from her or about her in this constituency. She has rested on her laurels. Got one leaflet, nothing on socials, just silence. Never stopped hearing about Reform. Some locals don’t understand what mps do or how local government works and some think she is the head of Wakefield metropolitan district council and therefore blame her for budget cuts. But everything is spent on other towns, not ours. We lost our library, sports centre and swimming pool because of cuts yet no one else did. Our local community centre has been mothballed for years due to asbestos and instead there are shipping containers in the carpark. The funding to rebuild it is missing. We’ll see how this pans out, the Reform candidate is an NHS worker and a local and has stood as an independent not here but in other local constituencies. If he gets in then Im hoping he’s not a cunt even if Reform are. Lets see. I walked past several polling stations today and didn’t see anyone outside doing exit polls.

That was supposedly the actual result

Polling stations only closed half an hour ago, it's not that efficient

 

[belboid]

why are you ignoring 2019 when Corbyn had the worst result since 1935?

A: because it is still important, or, at the very least, notable
B: it wasn't the worst result in terms of votes, of course, just seats.
